Wednesday 0 miles.

Zip, zero, nada in the jog log. Instead I adhered to the first rule of Joghard (see the list to the left). We are hosting a family reunion starting tomorrow so I spent the day putting (almost) finishing touches on the fireplace redo. I smoothed the mortar joints between the brick with grout and am painting the brick with a white stain. It's 95% done and looks awesome. I made a screen window for the boy's bathroom too. My wife has her own bathroom with a gigantic tub, double sinks, and large double window next to the tub that swings open to views of the Continental Divide- that's her sanctuary. The boy's room is smaller and is strewn with tub toys and a little on the dirty side. Toilet seat up is an option. We also went through a sea of toys and culled the toy herd. The weak and injured lost out to bulldozers, Thomas The Train track, and Benny's precious ball and Hot Wheels collections.

chr15- It's not really a lime wash- the brick is super old and porous so I painted it lightly with a white primer. The brick soaked it up and gives it a softer look. And I never heard of Thomas when I was growing up, I was surprised to hear that he's been around since the 50's!?
